Nordatlantiska Oscillationen (NAO) är ett atmosfäriskt cirkulationsfenomen som kännetecknas av skillnader i havsnivåtryck mellan högtrycksområdet vid Azorerna och lågtrycksområdet över Island. NAO varierar mellan en positiv och negativ fas beroende på hur väl utvecklade dessa högtrycksområden är. NAO har visat sig ha stor påverkan på vinterklimatet på norra halvklotet eftersom den påverkar temperaThe North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is an atmospheric circulation phenomenon, characterized by differences in sea level pressure between the Azores high- and the Icelandic low pressure systems. The NAO fluc-tuates between a positive and a negative phase depending on how well developed these pressure systems are. The NAO has a great impact on northern hemisphere winter climate since it affects tem

Building on theory that suggests that diversionary tactics are most likely when domestic turmoil affects the core constituents of the incumbent party, I operationalize domestic turmoil as macroeconomic conditions that disfavor the core constituents of the incumbent party and test its effects on the initiation,
